I don't know if it's cheaper, but there's a lot of conveniences:

Your camera isn't tied to the computer.
You don't flatten your batteries.
It does seem quicker even than the top USB 2.0 speed.
You don't need special camera drivers.
You're not stuck with an unsupported camera.
Things like gThumb can import from cards like it does with cameras.
